We call this lovely flat the Jewel Box. Filled with charm and all you need for a fabulous extended urban experience. The windows open onto a courtyard, letting in light and shielding you from city noise. Step outside and it’s a quick walk to the sites, great dining, music and more. This first floor condo includes air conditioning and is 2.5 blocks from Whole Foods and 1 block from an Amazon Go, the ultimate in contact free shopping. We have weekly and monthly discounts to make an extended stay affordable. Bookings of 28+ days avoid the 10% city hotel taxes, this is just the law but knowing can save you.

Location, location, location! This is the perfect home-base for your Seattle visit. Built in 1922 and converted to condos in 2007, the building offers a touch of charming character in our high-tech city. We think of the studio as our “Jewel Box. With windows opening onto an interior courtyard, it’s light-filled and quiet – a good retreat at the end of a long day of site-seeing or meetings. Veteran travelers ourselves, we’ve equipped our “pied a terre” to maximize the urban experience.

We've made coordinating check-in a breeze with a conveniently located lock box that allows you to pick up the keys on your schedule. We'll send you instructions and the lock box code 72 hours before your arrival.

To help you plan your visit, we'll email the New York Times 36 Hours in Seattle (customized with our hometown insight) along with your booking confirmation. Once you arrive, our robust guestbook is filled with suggestions on how to enjoy Seattle (including thoughts on getting around, where to eat and how to find a drop in yoga class), so you’ll have the local perspective at your finger tips during your stay. 

The Jewel Box is in a pretty perfect location. Here’s what you’ll find on a 10 minute walk:

• Stroll North and you’ll be at the Seattle Center, featuring the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Key Arena and Experience Music Project. The Gates Foundation is just across the street.

• Head South and you’ll be at the flagship Nordstrom store, Zara and a ton of great shopping. You’ll also find the Washington Convention Center in this direction.

• Meander West and you’ll be on your way to Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, the Great Wheel, Seattle Aquarium and the Ferry Terminal (take a ride to Winslow an enjoy the views and village).

• Walk East and in four blocks you’ll be at the center of high tech Seattle – Amazon, Microsoft and a number of innovative start ups have offices here. Plus a slew of great restaurants.

Dining.
Seattle is a very foodie town and within a block and a half of Swallow's Rest, you’ll be spoiled for choice. (and the flagship Top Pot Doughnuts is just 20 steps from the building’s front door). If you want to dine in, there are three grocery stores within walking distance – including a Whole Foods.

With a Walk Score of 99, you truly can get just about everywhere on foot.

We don’t recommend renting a car for your visit – you can grab a cab at the airport or take the Link light rail to the Westlake station (35 minutes/$3) and you’re 4 blocks from the condo. If you do drive, there’s a parking garage half a block away with competitive overnight rates.

To explore Seattle’s other neighborhoods – Ballard, Capital Hill, Fremont, Madison Park and more – try Uber or (website hidden) any of these options:
• South Lake Union Streetcar (2 blocks away)
• Trip planning, King Country Metro (bus stops nearby)

If you want to explore outside the city, Avis, Hertz, Enterprise and Budget all have offices within walking distance. Great day trips include wine tasting in Woodinville or visiting Port Townsend, The Ho Rainforest and Mount Rainier.

    Very cute little apartment with everything you need while visiting. Close to public transit (bus, monorail, and light rail) and easy walk to Pike Place Market and Amazon Spheres. Building and apartment were clean and quiet and the neighborhood felt safe while out walking at day and night. Very easy check in and out and the host was quick to respond. Most importantly for us the bed was comfortable and the apartment was clean! Would definitely stay again if we are in Seattle!

    This is an adorable little unit, perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. Excellent location, very clean and well appointed, and great host communication. However, since 4.5 stars was not an option, I gave it four stars because of the noise. The unit is in an old building with thin walls and creaky ceiling, and right next to the stairway. Lots of people going up and down and walking around in the unit above. The earplugs the hosts provided were very helpful, but on the whole it wasn’t the most restful place to stay. But for younger travelers wanting to experience the nightlife of Belltown, it’s probably perfect. And all things considered, the hosts have done a wonderful job of making the most of it.

    I stayed here last week for a conference and it was the perfect choice. The location is unbeatable — just steps from Pike Place Market and close to everything I needed. I loved being right in the heart of the city and actually feeling like part of the neighborhood instead of stuck in a generic hotel.The flat itself was spotless, super cozy, and really fun to stay in. Having my own full kitchen was a game-changer (way better than hotel food!). Everything was exactly as described in the listing — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up.Huge kudos to the owners for creating such a welcoming space. I’m so glad I chose this over the conference hotel. If you’re visiting Seattle, book this place without hesitation!

    It was great in most every way. The only issue I had is that the apartment number itself, as opposed to the street address of the building, was very hard to find in any/all email exchanges. The door codes and all that worked just as John said, but I struggled for quite some time to find the apartment number. Outside of that, everything was great. One more item: I gave the winery experience question in the preceding survey a 1 because there was no winery or winery experience. The apartment is in the middle of downtown Seattle, with no winery in sight.

    Everything was great! Clean, comfy space. The building is old and floors are creaky and it smells like an old building and we loved it! I super appreciated the space not being scented! Great location downtown and like it says in the ad the noise level isn't bad at all. Very convenient location for us on this trip. We loved the snacks provided! We would definitely stay again.

    We had a lovely stay. When we arrived the place was clean and the bed was comfy. The snack basket was a lovely welcome to the flat. The location is great! We walked to almost every spot we wanted to visit and always felt safe. Amazon spheres is right close by, the market is a 10 min walk..and more...We did arrive in a car and parked it in a nearby 24-hr garage and it worked splendid for us.The only downfall/heads up I would give for future visitors is if youre a light sleeper, the walls are thin and because of the central location and older building, you will be woken up from noises but still a 5-star location in my book!

    Everything about this Vrbo set us up for success as first timers in Seattle. The food recs were great, the location is walkable to everywhere we needed to be, and clean! We utilized the washer/dryer and the ironing board. The binder really informed our stay and easy to follow. We would definitely recommend and would stay again. It is on the small side, so anymore than 2 people may be cramped.

    Laundry was effective, but dryer doesn’t thoroughly dry the clothes. TV has a multitude of stations, but not regular channels and we were unable to watch live sporting events like football and baseball. Bathroom and shower were excellent, microwave and coffee makers worked well. Refrigerator was large and ran well. Location was convenient to everything downtown, easy to hop on monorail and light rail

    This was a perfect spot to land for Seattle! The place was exceptionally clean, it was easy to locate, and enter the building. The host communicated prior to arrival and made the process simple! Note there are a few stairs once you enter the building, but we manuvered with all of our luggage with no issues. We were thankful for the AC unit and it was pleasant temperature inside the apartment.We were able to walk to most areas of interest in downtown Seattle from here with no problems. There were plenty of places to eat close by. There is city noise but nothing crazy. The building noise was minimal as well. We really enjoyed this place and if we are ever back to Seattle we would definitely stay again!
